Bob the Drag Queen Defends Housewives Eliminations

Bob the Drag Queen, a contestant on The Traitors, has defended his controversial decision to eliminate two Real Housewives stars, Dorinda Medley and Chanel Ayan, in the show's early episodes. He explained during a YouTube livestream that he felt no personal loyalty to the Housewives as he does not watch much reality television and didn't recognize anyone in the cast. Bob noted that the Housewives are friends, unlike the competitors from Survivor and Big Brother, who tend to betray each other; hence, he and his fellow Traitors believed that targeting Housewives would strategically weaken their numbers. His decision has sparked backlash online, but he remains unapologetic, stating, "I know, guys. I know you're mad at me. Get over it." Bob expressed genuine emotion over Medley's departure, emphasizing that he was not acting during his emotional response. The controversy surrounding his actions highlights the clash between different reality TV fandoms and the competitive nature of the show.
